The Title Block

Listen to this Topic

A floor plan should also contain what’s called a ‘title block’. This normally sits in the bottom right hand corner of the plan (or sometimes at the top right corner), and contains administrative details including:
• The name and contact details of your Designer, Architect, or Builder
• The title or name of the drawing
• The drawing (or revision) number
• Signatures, initials, dates etc.

The title block may also show the total floor area in square metres (m2), and possibly the areas of different parts of the house. This is useful because most builders quote for work by the square metre. Builders normally only look at the total floor area, and often won’t differentiate in their quotes for things like verandas and patios, which are generally cheaper to construct than other parts of the house.
